[OS X TeX] Failure to compile Rgraphviz on Mac OS X

[Michael Kubovy]

Dear Mac LaTeXers,

I apologize for sending this query to the wrong list. But some  
members didn't care that I did, and cared enough to answer anyway.  
None complained (except for gently suggesting that the message wasn't  
send to the right place). Thanks to all for your generous support of  
LaTeX on the Mac.

The problem with the source code (which I did report to the  
maintainer) has not been solved yet. My problem on the other hand was  
solved by installing the binary, which fortunately was available.
